Nutella and orange marmalade on an English muffin

I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.

[–] ratboy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

The liquids used for carnitas are generally: milk, Mexican coke, orange juice and water. I could see the cherry coke being bomb

[–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ya, anything with sour and sweet notes is gonna help the pulled pork!

[–] Rayspekt@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Man, this definitely fits the topic.

was that on purpose or by accident?

[–] iNeedScissors67@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

On purpose but I was quite high

[–] Hal23@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve done this with Cheerwine. Amazing.

[–] zephyr@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Rice and milk. (Sometimes called rice pudding)

[–] anadem@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Grate a bit of nutmeg in for extra points.

And making it with 6 cups of milk to half a cup of rice and simmering until the liquid is very reduced produces a very intense deliciousness.

I just had a Hawaiian omelet this morning for the first time. Like the pizza but with an omelet: cheese omelet with ham, bacon bits, and pineapple, maybe something else I forgot.

I never would've thought of putting pineapples in an omelet, but it was surprisingly good, although I am the kind of person who also likes the pizza.

Grilled Cheese and Worcestershire sauce.

Okay I’m gonna have to try that. Grilled cheese with mustard and apple works pretty well. Dijon mustard if you can swing it

[–] fatboy93@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Vanilla ice-cream with either a slice of ripe mango or vanilla with a dash of lemon juice and salt.

Yum Yum!

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Black coffee and diet coke, I used to get it a lot like that hit or miss from McDonald's drive thru before they started selling it in a can.

It was pretty good! I like sweetened coffee but I also am a carbonation fiend so it really scratched both itches at the same time

[–] jargoggles@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Salt and anything sweet. Salt is a flavor enhancer and can make sweet flavors pop even more.

[–] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Also coffee. It doesn't make bad coffee good coffee, but it makes it less bad. Doesn't help Starbucks coffee however, nothing can.

[–] zero_iq@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Mmm, salmiak... when you get that perfect hit of sweet and salty at once! πŸ˜‹

[–] RandomVanGloboii@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago

Well, here in Italy they complain a lot about pineapple on pizza but then eat ham on melon

[–] bananacles@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Orange slices and salt. πŸ§‚πŸŠ

[–] blkwolf@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

That actually makes sense if you like Phad Thai

[–] anadem@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Peanut butter goes really well in chicken flavor ramen.

[–] FlashZordon@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

We used to have a dude in our college dorms who used to sell Cup of Noodles with a spoon of peanut butter inside for like 3 bucks. It's a GREAT and cheap meal after those late nights at the bar.

[–] blkwolf@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Strawberries and black pepper.

Slice the strawberries and dip them in a bit of black pepper.

[–] fratermus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

coca-cola + hefeweizen = colaweizen

Sounds vile, is really tasty.

[–] em2@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Salsa with cream cheese. Looks like vomit, which is actually a plus because you don't have to share!

[–] goforliftoff@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with cheetos OR cheddar ruffles.

[–] IninewCrow@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of the story of 'Fool's Gold Loaf'

"It consists of a single warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with the contents of one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and 1 pound (450 g) of bacon."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fool%27s_Gold_Loaf

As strange as this combination sounds ... I will attempt it one day

[–] AlysonFaithGames@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Cinnamon rolls and chili

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Bacon milkshake. Got to make sure the bacon is cooked proper to get some nice crumbles and it adds an amazing salty savory that really makes the milkshake flavor pop. Doesn't work with all flavors

[–] ShoePaste@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A pickle back! Pickle juice chaser with a shot of Jameson. i thought a pickle back was the most disgusting sounding thing until i tried it. it's a fantastic chaser for a shot of whiskey.

[–] SonofSonSpock@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I ordered one once and the waiter didn't know what I was talking about so I just got a beer. He comes back later with a big smile on his face holding a glass with some liquid in it saying he brought me a pickleback. It was premixed. I shot it, it was a lot of liquid, and only once it was in my mouth did I realize they had used bread and butter pickle juice.

[–] ShoePaste@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Lol! Oh man, that actually sounds awful.

[–] buda@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is... completely normal. Chilli aoli is actually the good one.

[–] buda@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

In the US, it's not very common unfortunately. That sounds delicious!

[–] Valmond@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Half Europe does that :-)

In France people use (Dion) mustard with fries, strong but interesting.

Froot Loops cereal with chocolate milk. Just trust me.

[–] Grumpelstiltskin@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

What’s surprising about that?
